An elevator stopped on the third floor.
Reason: Balanced forces mean the net force is zero so the object’s motion doesn’t change. The elevator at rest has gravity downward balanced by an upward support/tension force. The other examples involve unbalanced forces (motion with acceleration or changing motion).
